Abstract

This analysis attends to the Women’s March Huddles initiative, an aggregate of 5,400 events in February 2017 that aimed to harness the power of the march to build political momentum in local communities. Using digital mapping tools, this article illuminates the logics of space and place embedded in these events. Specifically, I (re)created the digital maps and map layering to illustrate how the locally based Huddles initiative perpetuated race- and class-based exclusion through spatial arguments. This case study shows that scholars not only can analyze the rhetorical messages of maps as they find them but also can create maps and engage in mapping to render previously abstract phenomena visible and analyzable. Attending to both the affordances and critiques of digital mapping as a feminist method, I ultimately argue that digital mapping offers opportunities for rhetorical inquiry.
